It's been warm though, and not much snow. I can't complain about this winter at all.

Don't tell me stuff like that Jack. That hurts.

Somewhere along the lines tonight it is suppose to shift to rain then rain the rest of the week.

Sorry about that, Brenda.

If it makes you feel any better, it's back in the 30's and gloomy as shit out here by me again, and I haven't gotten back to 100% so I was barely able to enjoy the nice days while they were here.

Do Right, Be Right. :)

I slept for most of the day and when I woke up there was a few inches of snow out. I think that's the most solid snow cover I've seen so far this winter. :(

Hope yours is gone for good, but it's still only the beginning of February. Good luck!

Do Right, Be Right. :)

Just saying hey all. I've been absent because I had somewhat more energy and needed to get a least SOMEthing done - which pooped me out!

Well, January was pretty much a bust for rain, and so far February has been as well. I really hope we get a reasonable amount this month, but time's running out and we have a lot of making up to do.



Brenda, wouldn't it be nice if you could send oh about 4" (~10cm) of rain our way over the next 3 weeks? I think that would make us both really happy!



Anyway, there's not much going on at this end, other than I'm slowly crawling my way out of the hole the flu put me in.

I hope everyone is well - or at least greatly improved!

Good night all.

It's nice to see you making progress Brenda! in your Brenda way - steadily, day by day.



And I hope everyone else is at least continuing to improve to good health!

Do you have any pull with any of the gods/ spirits/ whatevers that might arrange a transfer of your rain to here? I seem to be persona non grata with it/ them at the moment.

Yeah... well it's definitely hives from the behavior. Unfortunately, it either isn't the Amox that caused it and I'm getting them for some other reason, or I'm still reacting to it 24 hours after I took my last one.

Ate early and went to sleep, hoping that it would be a memory when I woke up, but they're back with a bit of a vengeance right now. They're not as bad overall as they were last night around this time where they've popped up anew, at least in the looks department, but boy... they seem to itch about 10 times as bad as the ones I had yesterday.

They seem to have hit almost entirely different areas of my body this time. The initial monster around my waistband is mostly gone now except for a reddish residue where it was, and if it still itches I can't feel it at all over the itchiness of the new batch. Except for some new ones on my forearms by the wrists, my arms, armpits and calves are basically free of them this time. They're almost gone on my back now too. But my thighs are terrible, and it's quite bad between my shoulder blades, neck and chin area. I can tell I have a bit under my beard as well, although it still hasn't gone to any part of my face where hair doesn't grow.

I hope I was right and it was the Amox and it's not a symptom of something larger. I'm still no showing any other symptoms that would require me to seek immediate attention like fever, nausea, loss of appetite or swelling in the mouth.

God help me if it's an allergic reaction to the dentures themselves. Especially after the money I spent on them.... :(

After plentiful rain in late November and all of December, we've had no rainfall in January, and none so far (and none predicted for the next 10 days) in February. Which means that our rainy season will likely be a bust, since heavy rainfall in March is so rare that the last time it happened (and saved our rainy season) it was called "Miracle March".

I hope for another miracle, but sure not expecting it.

One way to figure out if it's hives or something else is to take Bendaryl (diphenhydramine). It should reduce them and the itching. I've been given by a doctor and also taken myself more than 1 benadryl at a time.

HOWEVER, when I took more than 1 for hives, AFTER IT WORE OFF MY TONGUE SWELLED UP. So BE AWARE THAT YOU COULD END UP WITH A SERIOUS REBOUND PROBLEM.

I didn't realize it but there's something called chronic hives: https://www.webmd.com/skin-problems-and-treatments/hives-treatment#1

SIX do you have a digital camera or smart phone? I suggest taking several pictures of your skin ... close up, real close up, and medium distance (to indicate the spread) and take them to your dentist since he was the one who rx'd the amox. I think a second pair of eyes on this would give you assurance that your self-dx was correct. Also, at your earliest oppty get some Benadryl for possible emergencies.

You may need to be alert for any future rxs since all penicillins will prolly create the same reaction. There are 15 different 'cillins. Allergies are nothing to fool with because the next one could be critical.
